Fenton-like reactions are fundamental to environmental remediation, yet conventional electron-centric frameworks overlook critical proton transfer contributions. Here, we demonstrate that strategic modulation of proton transfer enhances heterogeneous Fenton-like reactivity by two orders of magnitude through validated proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) mechanisms. Two complementary strategies emerged: modifying catalyst surface hydroxyl density and tuning solution pH. Mechanistic investigations revealed that hydroxyl modifications alter the surface O–H bond dissociation free energy (BDFE), while pH adjustments follow Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi (BEP) relationships. We developed electrochemical methods for quantifying BDFE alongside techniques for measuring net H• transfer rates involving surface hydroxyl groups. This paradigm transcends electron-centric approaches by establishing comprehensive theoretical frameworks for reaction enhancement and by providing transformative proton-transfer-based modulation strategies to overcome inherent activity limitations in practical Fenton-like applications.

Simultaneous integration of electrical bipolarity and bidirectional photoresponse enables enhanced dynamic scene perception, recognition, and interaction within a single device, represents a formidable yet actively pursued challenge, motivated by applications in intelligent autonomous driving, augmented reality, and related advanced technologies. Here, we report a site-selective O-Se substitution strategy, yielding, for the first time, enables electrically and optically bipolar charge transport in a single-crystalline Bi 2 O 2 Se 2D semiconductor. Their-based filed-effect transistors (FETs) show balanced ambipolar (P/N-type) carrier transport with a record-level of I ON / I OFF ratio over 6000, and broadband positive and negative photoconductivity (PPC/NPC) from 300 to 1400 nm selectively activated under opposite polarity bias conditions. This dual-bidirectional optoelectronic performance is attributable to a wavelength-dependent oxygen adsorption–desorption process that dynamically modulates the electronic band structure and charge transport characteristics. Moreover, we successfully demonstrate its integrated applications in high-dimensional secure optical communication, round-the-clock motion detection and recognition (MDR), and context-aware interaction to dynamic events. The result demonstrates seamless integration of multi-wavelength spectral sensing, in-sensor computing, and hardware-rooted secure communication within such Bi 2 O 2 Se devices, establishing a foundation for next-generation optoelectronic technologies.

Co₃O₄/TiO₂ achieves a CH₄ yield of 34.8 μmol g −1 h −1 with 82.4% selectivity. • Ti–O–Co bonds serve as charge transfer channels in Co₃O₄/TiO₂. • Co 2+ /Co 3+ redox couples stabilize *CO intermediates and facilitate PCET. • Electron transfer promotes Co electron enrichment for *CO stabilization. • Synergistic electron transfer and proton supply promote selective CO₂ methanation. Value-added conversion of CO 2 using solar energy is a sustainable strategy to address the energy crisis and environmental issues simultaneously. In this work, Co 3 O 4 /TiO 2 composite photocatalysts were successfully prepared by a hydrothermal method. The optimized Co 3 O 4 /TiO 2 achieves a CH 4 yield of 34.8 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 with 82.4% selectivity. The enhanced catalytic activity is ascribed to interfacial Ti-O-Co bonds that facilitate electron transfer toward Co sites, thereby modulating the Co 2+ /Co 3+ electronic environment and creating relatively electron-rich Co sites for *CO stabilization, while the Co 3 O 4 component facilitates the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process toward CH 4 formation. This study provides a practical strategy for promoting the value-added photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 using multivalent transition metal oxide composite photocatalysts. Co 3 O 4 /TiO 2 enables highly selective photoreduction of CO 2 into CH 4 . Ti-O-Co bonds serve as pathways transferring photogenerated electrons from TiO 2 to Co sites. The electron-rich Co centers act as active sites to stabilize *CO intermediates. Meanwhile, Co 3 O 4 promotes water oxidation and maintains sufficient proton supply, synergistically facilitating CH 4 production.

A novel ATT/γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticle was synthesized via the alkaline co-precipitation method. • Submicro/nanofibrous membranes incorporating ATT/γ-Fe₂O₃ particles can respond to external magnetic field stimuli. • Moderate-strength static magnetic field enhanced bone regeneration and vascular repair. • In vivo studies suggested that the BMP2-Smad-RUNX-2 signaling pathway was involved in the improvement and healing of cranial bone defects in rats. Currently, the development of multifunctional scaffolds that synergistically promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis remains a significant challenge in bone tissue engineering. It is increasingly recognized that scaffolds composed of a single material or possessing a single function are often inadequate, as they fail to mimic the complex biochemical and physical microenvironments. In this study, we successfully fabricated a submicro/nanofibrous membrane using electrospinning technology, which creates a biomimetic extracellular environment through a polycaprolactone (PCL) / gelatin (GEL) matrix. The incorporation of attapulgite (ATT) supplies essential osteogenic ions, while γ-iron oxide (γ-Fe₂O₃) facilitates mesenchymal cell differentiation and imparts magnetic responsiveness. Co-culturing the membranes with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) revealed that the membranes possessed strong biocompatibility and promoted osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis. Both in vivo and in vitro studies suggested the involvement of the BMP2-Smad‑RUNX‑2 signaling axis in the effects of the PG/ATT/γ‑Fe₂O₃ scaffold, which also upregulated osteogenesis‑related gene expression under a magnetic field. This work offers new insights and provides a scientific foundation for advancing the use of functionalized nanomaterials in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Lignin-derived bio-oils contain abundant methoxyphenols exhibiting limited antioxidant activity, which requires their conversion to high-value polyphenols. This study develops titanium-loaded Hβ zeolite catalysts (xTi/Hβ) for the selective O-demethylation of methoxyphenols to catechols under subcritical aqueous conditions. Comprehensive characterization (XRD, XPS, STEM, NH₃-TPD, Py-FTIR) reveals that Ti exists as both framework-incorporated tetrahedral Ti⁴⁺ species (via Al³⁺ substitution) and surface-anchored anatase TiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs). The optimal 5Ti/Hβ catalyst maximizes synergistic effects: framework Ti sites enhance Brønsted acidity, while Ti NPs facilitate H 2 O enrichment near active sites. This achieves 99.46% conversion of 4-propylguaiacol to 4-propylcatechol. Applied to distilled bio-oil, 5Ti/Hβ reduces methoxyphenol content from 48.50 Area.% to 20.25 Area.% and increases total polyphenols from 25.39 Area.% to 43.64 Area.%. Catalyst stability challenges under prolonged hydrothermal conditions are identified for future optimization.

Halide solid-state electrolytes (HSSEs), exemplified by low-cost Li 2 ZrCl 6 , exhibit high ionic conductivity and a wide electrochemical stability window, making them promising for all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Yet, optimizing HSSEs by elemental doping is either inefficient or costly, necessitating alternative approaches. Inspired by the filler-modified LiI-Al 2 O 3 system with fast-conductive interfacial percolation layer (IPL) and with regard to the underlying insufficient interfacial filler/electrolyte contact with Li 2 ZrCl 6 matrix, which hinders the IPL formation, the use of transition metal oxide Fe 2 O 3 is pioneered as a filler to generate oxygen vacancies and foster benign filler/electrolyte interfaces. At the Fe 2 O 3 /electrolyte interface, synchrotron X-ray adsorption spectra and electron energy loss spectra mapping reveal a distinctive O-Cl exchange reaction and improved interfacial contact. Density function theory, bond-valence site energy calculations, and finite-element simulations validate improved Li + migration via mitigated electrostatic confinement, reduced migration energy barriers, and spatially confined electric-field-accelerated IPLs. Benefiting from these merits, the ionic conductivity of the composite electrolyte surges from 0.4 to 2.15 mS cm −1 , with Li + migration activation energy reduced to 0.28 eV. Paired with the NCM811 cathode, the ASSB delivers 90% capacity retention over 1000 cycles at 0.5 C. This work offers a novel, cost-effective strategy for high-performance halide-oxide composite electrolytes from the counterintuitive perspective of nanofiller integration.

Targeted regulation of electrocatalyst reconstruction during the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under alkaline conditions proves essential to achieving highly efficient hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting. Yet this remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we prepare an iron nickel phosphate (Fe-NPO) catalyst, which possesses substantial oxygen vacancies and an asymmetric Fe-O(P)-Ni coordination structure. This structural merit facilitates the effective deep reconstruction of Fe-NPO, which then transforms into the highly active Fe-Vo-P-NiOOH active phase during OER. For the reconstructed Fe-Vo-P-NiOOH, it effectively tunes the d-band center, bringing it notably closer to the Fermi level. This type of electronic modulation not only strengthens the water adsorption capacity but also optimizes the rate-determining step (RDS) in the OER pathway. The anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE) integrated with the Fe-NPO catalyst as an anode catalyst achieved high industrial current densities of 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mA cm-2 at low applied voltages of 1.68, 1.76, 1.84 and 1.92 V, respectively. This work presents a strategy to realize the deep and efficient conversion of OER catalysts into highly active components through defect engineering and asymmetric coordination regulation, while also confirming Fe-NPO’s considerable potential for practical hydrogen production scenarios.

The escalating global energy crisis and environmental pollution has drawn increasing attention. As a green and sustainable alternative, photocatalytic H 2 O 2 synthesis has attracted widespread interest. In this study, we has designed a novel exciton-regulated photocatalyst (Bi@g-C 3 N 4 /ST-NS) by integrating bismuth-doped graphitic carbon nitride with porphyrin-based supramolecular nanostructures (ST-NS). The composite was synthesized through a sequential process involving solvothermal reaction, high-temperature calcination, and solution-phase self-assembly. We systematically investigated its crystal structure, photoelectronic properties, and the mechanistic basis of photocatalytic H 2 O 2 production. Characterization results confirmed the successful incorporation of Bi single atoms into the sixfold cavities of g-C 3 N 4 , forming a p-n heterojunction with ST-NS while preserving the crystallinity of the host matrix. The built-in interfacial electric field not only promoted efficient charge separation but also extended the visible-light absorption range and prolonged the carrier lifetime. Performance evaluations revealed that Bi@g-C 3 N 4 /ST-NS exhibited significantly enhanced H 2 O 2 generation activity compared to pristine Bi@g-C 3 N 4 , with optimal performance achieved at a 10:1 mass ratio. Under visible-light irradiation, the H 2 O 2 concentration reached 1134 μM in the reaction solution, representing a 2.5-fold improvement over Bi@g-C 3 N 4 . Mechanistic studies indicated that the heterojunction facilitated efficient intersystem crossing from singlet to triplet excitons. Rather than following the conventional superoxide radical (·O 2 - ) pathway, these triplet excitons activated ground-state oxygen to generate singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) via resonance energy transfer. The subsequent highly selective two-electron reduction of 1 O 2 yielded H 2 O 2 , effectively circumventing the high-energy barrier steps associated with traditional pathways. This work thus presented a promising strategy for the rational design of high-efficiency photocatalytic systems through exciton regulation.

A single-step removal of γ-carbinol from lignin β-O-4 linkages was reported. • Key parameters for γ-carbinol removal were systematically screened and optimized. • Ru/C system enabled efficient upgrading of monophenols from birch-derived bio-oil. • The selectivity and yield of 2,6-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenol reach 53.02% and 39.33%. • A promising route for lignin valorization was proposed. Development of efficient strategies for converting the C3 β-O-4 motif of lignin into a simplified C2 β-O-4 structure is of great significance, yet it remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we report the use of Ru/C as a catalyst to convert α-hydroxy-free C3 β-O-4 fragments into C2 β-O-4 fragments via a one-step strategy for the removal of the γ-carbinol group. A series of lignin-derived phenolic model compounds were selected to systematically investigate the effects of key reaction parameters, including temperature, reaction time, catalyst dosage, and substituent structure on the removal of the γ-carbinol group. On the basis of the obtained reaction rules and optimized parameters, the Ru/C-catalyzed system was successfully applied to the upgrading of monophenolic components in bio-oil obtained from the depolymerization of authentic birch lignin. Under optimized reaction conditions, 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2,6-dimethoxyphenol in the bio-oil achieved a conversion of 74.18%, affording the target product 2,6-dimethoxy-4-ethylphenol with a selectivity of 53.02% and a yield of 39.33%. This study provides a novel and efficient approach for the valorization of lignin-derived bio-oil, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable utilization of lignin resources.

Silicon oxycarbide (SiOC)-based materials hold significant potential as anodes of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity, low volume expansion, and excellent electrochemical stability. However, they exhibit low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and poor cycling stability. In this study, carbon/silicon oxycarbide (C/SiOC) composites were synthesized using a facile sol-gel method followed by ambient pressure drying and thermal treatment. The phase composition of SiOC was tuned by the oxygen content of precursors to achieve a high content of reversible phase for Li storage. Among four organosilanes including trimethylethoxysilane (TMES), 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (TMCTS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES), and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), TMCTS leads to the highest content of SiO 3 C and SiO 2 C 2 phases owing to moderate oxygen content, which are responsible for Li storage. Hence, the C/SiOC composite with TMCTS as precursor exhibits significantly higher initial Coulombic efficiency (70.53%) than those with TMES, MTES, and TEOS as precursors (68.86%, 43.85%, and 33.11%), which this value exceeds the typical ICE range of 50–60% reported for other SiOC-based materials. It was demonstrated that a higher oxygen content of the precursor promotes the generation of Li 2 O during the lithiation process, which acts as a robust structural buffer to enhanced structural stability. TMCTS-derived C/SiOC composite exhibited excellent cyclic stability over long-term cycling, retaining 601.87 mAh·g −1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A·g −1 . The results verify the critical role of phase composition of SiOC as anodes of LIBs, providing a new strategy to design SiOC-based materials with high electrochemical performance by tuning phase composition of SiOC from its precursor.

Cerium(III) oxygenated domain has been successfully decorated on the surface of PtCo particles. • The control of *CHO adsorption at Pt–O–Ce(III) interface achieves a non-CO pathway for MOR. • The *HCOOH deprotonation kinetics governed by the coverage of cerium(III) oxidation domain affects the overpotential of MOR. • The Ce-PtCo/C catalyst achieves a mass activity that is 4.8 times as high as that of Pt/C. The poisoning of *CO remains a longstanding challenge for Pt-based catalysts in methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). This study demonstrates that the non-CO pathway is governed by the moderate adsorption of *CHO species and the ability to rapidly oxidize intermediate, both of which can be fulfilled by the Pt-O-Ce(III) interface rather than Pt-O-Ce(IV). In contrast to traditional CeO 2 -supported Pt-based catalyst, this surface-modified Pt-based catalyst has been constructed with abundant Pt-O-Ce(III) interface, providing stable and sufficient active sites to simultaneously optimize the above two factors to catalyze MOR with non-CO pathway. Furthermore, we first reveal that the coverage of this Pt-O-Ce(III) interface is crucial. By rationally regulating the coverage of cerium(III) oxygenated domains, we modulate the thermodynamic adsorption properties of key intermediate species without affecting the subsequent deprotonation kinetics of *HCOOH, thereby achieving the maximum leverage. This novel catalyst steering the non-CO pathway shows promising application potential in actual DMFCs. Download: Download high-res image (137KB) Download: Download full-size image

High-performance MEMS CO sensor based on in-situ grown CuO-In₂O₃ nanocubes, offering high response (1 to 50 ppm) and fast kinetics (11/45 s). • Excellent stability and reproducibility (2.02% deviation) achieved through robust in-situ growth on micro-hotplates. • A miniaturised wireless prototype demonstrates potential for portable, non-invasive neonatal jaundice monitoring. Accurate detection of carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in the exhaled breath of newborns with jaundice is crucial for early diagnosis of the condition. However, the consistency and integration of existing sensors are often constrained by inherent limitations in their manufacturing processes and material systems. Herein, the MEMS micro-hotplate gas sensor based on in-situ grown CuO-In₂O₃ heterojunction nanocubes. This sensor enables precise, low-power temperature control through a MEMS micro-hotplate. Meanwhile, the in-situ growth technology facilitates a stable interfacial connection between the sensing material and the chip, which contributes to the exceptional consistency in device performance. Concurrently, the in-situ grown 10% CuO-In 2 O 3 heterojunction exhibits a uniform cubic structure, high specific surface area (81.2 m 2 /g), and large pore size (9.8 nm). This gas sensor exhibits high response toward CO (12.5 at 50 ppm), short response/recovery times (9/48 s), and excellent moisture resistance. More importantly, in batch-produced devices, the consistency error in sensor response is 2.02%, significantly enhancing the reliability and repeatability of device arrays. Density functional theory calculations revealed, at the atomic level, the selective adsorption and charge transfer mechanism of CO molecules at the CuO-In₂O₃ p-n heterojunction interface, elucidating the intrinsic cause of its enhanced sensitivity. Furthermore, we integrated this sensor with a Bluetooth module, successfully assembling a miniaturised wireless real-time monitoring device. This research establishes the material foundation for developing a new generation of non-invasive, portable bedside monitoring devices for neonatal jaundice.
